Pasted from organisers Facebook page, so annoying, wonder why the farmer(s) have changed their minds 🙁
“Unfortunately we have decided to cancel Round 4 of the series at Lower Froyle on 14th July.
The farmer who had agreed to the use of his field has changed his mind. Despite offering silly money to him and other farmers to use adjoining fields we have been unable to secure enough parking. The location is in the centre of a very small village with single track lanes so there is no street parking or local car parks. The quarry venue itself has insufficient parking for the event to go ahead and it is with great regret that we have no choice but to cancel the event.
This is the first last minute cancellation in all the years SouthernXC has been running and we are gutted that we had to make this decision. We were having so much fun organizing the series this year. We have thought long and hard about alternatives but there is just not enough time available to switch at this late stage.
Refunds will be issued to all pre-entered riders as soon as possible.
Round 5 is still on for 8th September. The Series will be reduced to four rounds with best three results counting.
Please help us spread the word about the cancellation so that no-one has a wasted journey.
A thousand sad faces.
SMBC Crew”
